L.I.F.T. Workshops

Due to overwhelming requests from the youth to work with SUBLIMINAL on a one on one basis, we have created a series of interactive workshops ranging from musical production to architectural design!  Classrooms, libraries, community centers and theathres across the G.T.A. have become the stage for students to work alongside SUBLIMINAL and expore fields not normally available to them.  Here is a list and brief description of the SUBLIMINAL Vibe workshop options. (also see videos below)
